Chapter: 4089

Song Wan Ting became slightly embarrassed and said, "Ye Master, I'm really sorry, the Jinling's resources are still lacking in ordinary art pieces, we've basically brought out the best we could find, but compared to Sotheby's and Christie's, there is still a huge gap, so the transaction volume isn't that high..."

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, this time there was still some lack because Jinling's reputation hasn't been well-established yet, but now Jinling has already gained a lot of fame among the top wealthy groups globally. Next year when we prepare for the Spring Dan auction, all we need to do is release the news in advance, and those art collectors will definitely come knocking on our door to collaborate..."

Song Wan Ting nodded seriously and said, "Ye Master, I really thank you this time! Thank you for giving me and Jinling this opportunity. Because of you, Jinling was able to have such a great chance, thank you again..."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Wan Ting, we're in a cooperative relationship. Everyone benefits from cooperation, mutual benefit, and common growth. So don't be so polite and say thank you."

Song Wan Ting gratefully nodded slightly and then hurriedly said, "Oh, Ye Master, the income from Spring Dan and talismans this time adds up to $14.92 billion;"

"However, from a financial perspective, this $1.49 billion income has no costs associated with it:"

"If we don't have any costs, this $1.49 billion is basically all profit. Shouldn't we arrange it in a reasonable and legal manner? Are the original materials used to create Spring Dan and the costs incurred during the process something that can be included?"

"Leaf Chen smiled and said, 'As for the original materials, how much cost can I get? The $14.92 billion income, even if we take out $0.3 billion as a cost, it's still a lot. And since I did all the processing myself, this cost is hard to quantify, so let's just consider it profit and pay taxes accordingly.'"

Song Wan Ting was shocked into silence, then opened her mouth and said, "Leaf Master, are you not considering planning at all? This is over $3 billion..."

Leaf Chen waved his hand and said resolutely, "Don't need to. Let's do it according to my plan, everything goes by profit."

Song Wan Ting took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Okay, Leaf Master, I'll clarify this with the finance team later."

Leaf Chen nodded again and said, "Oh yes, Wan Ting, apart from the money Bernard Elmore brought earlier, which is all donated away, I'll use an auction to raise $1 billion for the Chinese Red Cross Association. However, half of it has to be used for the livelihood, education, and medical care of underprivileged children, teenagers, and infants below 18 years old, while the other half can go towards the elderly above 70 who are poor, lonely, or disabled, with one condition: they must not publicly disclose the donor's information."

Song Wan Ting was left speechless, her heart filled with shock. "This is $1 billion... Is it really going to be so brutal a donation?"

Leaf Chen continued, "Oh yes, and I'll also donate $100 million to Jinling, with no restrictions as long as it helps Jinling's development."

Song Wan Ting's heart was trembling.

She had seen people do charity work before, but never like this. But Leaf Chen wasn't done yet.

"Ah, yes! And I'll also establish a large-scale welfare center in Jinling, with a minimum capacity to accommodate over 10,000 orphaned children. In addition to providing them with good living conditions, we will also build a preschool and a twelve-year integrated school; all construction costs, human resources costs, teacher training costs, and daily maintenance costs will be covered by me."

"All the construction costs, human resources costs, teacher training costs, and daily maintenance costs will be borne by me. The teaching team must be of high quality, not only providing excellent living conditions and education for the children but also ensuring they receive no discrimination from kindergarten to high school graduation."

"Furthermore, any child who graduates from this welfare center will have their university tuition fees and living expenses fully covered:"

As he spoke, Leaf Chen's tone changed again and said, "Additionally, all children who graduate from here must sign an agreement with the welfare center. After they graduate from university or earn a master's or doctoral degree, they must return to Jinling and work for at least five years, contributing to the development of Jinling."

~@~Definitely have to come see us!

Leaf Chen, although not from Jinling, had long considered Jinling as his second hometown.

He had lived in Jinling for nearly 20 years and now had some ability. He was determined to do something for Jinling.

Especially, he wanted to do something for the orphaned children in Jinling and surrounding cities.

This welfare center and twelve-year integrated school system is exactly what Leaf Chen wants to strive for." JrNovels.com
